Frequently Asked Questions

Technical Information

Q: What is the power of most laser therapy devices on the market?

A: Previously all Low laser therapy devices were class III, with a power range from from 5 milliwatts to 500 milliwatts. The K-Laser Cube class IV is a high-powered therapy device with power adjustable from 100 milliwatts to 15,000 milliwatts allowing for a wide range of treatment protocols. This power and penetration of the K-Laser system is not attainable with class III devices.

Lasers are also used in other areas of medicine, specifically in surgical interventions where they are used for cutting, removing tattoos, and other dermatological applications (hair removal). These medical lasers are designed to cut or ablate the tissues as they are very high powered lasers (100W) in comparison to the K-Laser, which is only a maximum of 15W.

Q: What is its history?

A: The effects of red light on cellular function have been known since 1880 however the clinical benefits were only discovered by accident during laser safety tests in 1967. The first low-power lasers suitable for treating pain became available commercially in the late 1970’s and ever since then, laser therapy has been widely utilized in Europe by physical therapists, nurses and doctors. Now, after FDA approval in 2001, laser therapy is quickly gaining popularity worldwide.

Q: Has effectiveness been demonstrated scientifically?

A: Yes. There are thousands of published studies demonstrating the clinical effectiveness of Laser Therapy. Among these, there are more than one hundred rigorously controlled, scientific studies that document the effectiveness of laser for many clinical conditions.

Q: Cellular Effects of Laser Therapy?

A: During K Laser Therapy the infrared laser light interacts with tissues at the cellular level and metabolic activity increases within the cell, improving the transport of nutrients across the cell membrane. This initiates the production of cellular energy (ATP) that leads to a cascade of beneficial effects, increasing cellular function and health.

Q: Laser Therapeutic Effects?

During each painless treatment laser energy increases circulation, drawing water, oxygen, and nutrients to the damaged area. This creates an optimal healing environment that reduces inflammation, swelling, muscle spasms, stiffness, and pain. As the injured area returns to normal, function is restored and pain is relieved.

K-Laser Advanced Technology

K-Laser is leading the way in pain management, tissue repair, safe treatments, and fast treatment times. K-Laser is the premier laser company in the USA and is now making in-roads into Europe. It is the only laser which offers:

Four-Wavelength Beam that Penetrates Deep into the Tissue

Continuous & Modulating Frequencies to Promote Pain Control and Healing.

SuperPulse Mode for Deeper Therapeutic Penetration

High Power Delivering Larger Doses, Resulting in Shorter Treatment Times.

Presets that Result in More Consistent and Safe Treatment Outcomes.

Four Wavelength/Triple Delivery Mode

The K-Laser was the first to employ three infrared wavelengths simultaneously of 800 nm, 905 nm, and 970 nm and combine them with a 660 nm visible beam. These Four Wavelengths are more efficient, healing the tissue while also aiding in pain relief. Combine this with Three Distinct Delivery Modes (Continuous Wave, Frequency Modulated, and Intense SuperPulse), and you have a therapeutic laser solution that offers as much variety as the conditions that can be treated.
